This week: Fixed display issues so that all content fits into the now playing view correctly, added api so that context pages can say what media types they support, and made the context manager show and hide pages based on whether or not they are supported. I also did some sort of unrelated things. I de-elipsized some strings and made them wrap instead. There were a lot of places where strings were being elipsized where it was better to use more space and display the extra information. These were upstreamed and are now in master. I also added support to disable gio in the build due to some issues I was having with my gio-sharp installation. It was easier to make it disableable in the build than fix the issue. This has also been upstreamed. I requested a youtube icon from the gnome art team, and it's now the icon for the youtube extension. It's awesome looking (thanks vish!). I'll be blogging with screenshots, or maybe a screencast tomorrow. It'll be on the planet so keep an eye out!
Next week: I want to get all of the current context pages to declare what types they support so that we only have buttons displayed where they make sense. There's another issue where the now playing area won't change the display if video is playing, but i want context info for video as well so I will be hacking to get context support in now playing for video.
Pretty productive week, things are looking great and a bunch of work has already been upstreamed. I'm learning a ton about how powerful git can be, and how powerfully git can break.
And a git log from my branch...
